#i wander mindlessly for days and nights. until i stumble across a lone house in the middle of nowhere.

i'm not a person i'm just wearing skin fabric i've pulled over my skeleton

#vent art #vent #sketches #i wander mindlessly for days and nights. until i stumble across a lone house in the middle of nowhere. #the roof caved in long ago but someone's hung up a thick tarp in its place. #the walls are crumbling and the banisters that once held up the porch are rotted. #but somebody sits there in the shade. and it turns out he's been sitting there watching you for quite a while. #and i walk closer and closer. the man who lives here is named hamboo. he deems that i'm not a threat when he sees my tattered clothes #which are stained with blood and mud and the sea. he sees that i have died and risen again. #he asks what happened. i tell him i got my heart broken and murdered in one fell swoop #he looks at me with pity in his eyes and asks if i'd like his assistance #and for once i did not find myself hesitant in accepting the help that i so desperately needed. #he leads me down to a nearby pond and helps me wash away all the blood and brushes my tangled hair. lends me clothes. #i tell him only what i can remember. that i was asked out on a date and wound up face down in the harbor. #later he stitches my wounds together. i ask him why bother and he says it will help in the long run. #i think he must be lonely to want to care for me #but i don't mind #and when i have dreams. i tell him. i tell him how real they feel and the emotions they invoke and he treats them as significant. #and it feels like i've been believed for the first time in my life. #reggie speaks
